• Mr. Pat Klaers July 10, 1998 Page 6 ■ Secondary Access City Ordinance requires that plats have a minimum of two ways to enter and exit a development. We would recommend that in Phase I of the development, Street R is constructed to the west to provide that secondary access to CSAH 13 (Tyler Street). We would also recommend that, as the development moves into Phase II, a timeline be placed for either the construction of Street A to the northwest to intersect CSAH 13, for use of the secondary access, or the construction of Phase Ill, which includes the continuation of Street A. • Phil Hals' Comments Street Superintendent Phil Hals had a number of comments on the proposed development. He provided these in written form, in a memo addressed to Steve Ach, and dated May 7, 1998. A copy of this memo is attached. Through the detailed staff review of each particular phase of the developments, grading plan, and construction plans, we will ensure that Phil Hals' comments are addressed. The Developer has indicated how they plan to address the issue of snow storage in the cul-de-sacs. This is shown by a • detail on Sheet 10 of 17 of their submittal. We would recommend that these areas be designated by some type of easement on the plat, so that trees, fences, and other types of landscaping items are not placed within these snow storage areas. • Street Lighting As each phase of this development moves forward, we will get recommendations from the Elk River Municipal Utilities, relative to street lighting. It is recommended that the Developer be required to install at least the minimum street lighting recommended by the Elk River Municipal Utilities. • Plat Monumentation The preliminary site plan, Sheet 3 of 17, shows a number of proposed plat monuments to be constructed. Sheet 17 of 17 provides details on the various monuments. There are five locations where a project entry monument is proposed, which consists of two 6-foot high stone columns, with a 4-foot x 16- foot sign between them. At various other locations, internal to the plat, monuments are proposed with 4-foot x 8-foot signs between columns, either of stone or wood, and in many other locations, there are monuments consisting of columns of stone or wood, with fencing between them. We question whether or not a 4-foot x 16-foot project entry monument is too large, and whether or not the number of internal monuments is excessive. • We would suggest that this item is further worked on with the Developer and the staff to ensure that the size and number of monuments proposed is not Howarc R.Green Cor oany O:\PROD\800111]\0240\111-0804.july.docONSULTING ENGINEERS
